Commercial Description:
In keeping with the Illinois senator's unifying theme, the "Hop Obama" is an indefinable ale that doesn't adhere to traditional style guidelines. The 5.2% ABV creation contains five different kinds of European crystal malt and three different kinds of Pacific Northwest Hops. Combined with a Scottish yeast strain for fermentation, the result is a highly drinkable beer with a big malt background and an "Obama" of hops that imparts floral and citrus notes with just a hint of spiciness.

Draft: cloudy orange, hoppy aroma, dry hoppy ale with plenty of malt presence, not bad

A bit of a gimick beer, pretty well done though. Reletively thick body with a light aroma. Hopy, full palate. Some Sweetness, malt. Mild and relativly average on all fronts. High drinkablilty.

[Draft @ Pacific Standard] Poured a hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweeter crystal malts, floral hops, light pine, citrus fruits, and some toast as well. Taste leaned toward the fruitier side, with some caramel from the crystal malt, light pine, lower bitterness in the finish.

Growler from whole foods in the villiage. Enjoyed with a ginormous slice of Artichoke pizza from, where else, Artichoke. Really delicous pale with nice sweet malt and sharp hops. GO OBAMA

(Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of florals/herbs, citrus, and biscuit. Flavor of hops (pine, resin, herbs, grass) and caramel malt with a bitter finish.

Cloudy poor, crisp IPA like flavor, definitely hoppy. Not overwhelming and doesn’t finish overly dry.
